American model and television personality, Nicole “Coco” Austin, has publicly addressed criticism surrounding her continued modeling of revealing attire, asserting her intention to maintain her signature style throughout her career.
During an appearance on the Dumb Blonde Podcast on Sunday, the 46-year-old model stated, “I am always going to take sexy pictures until I die. People often say, ‘Don’t you think you’re too old?’ but I’m going to continue expressing myself — doing everything that irritates people — until the end.”
Austin disclosed that she has transitioned much of her risqué content to her subscription-based OnlyFans platform, where she charges $19.99 per month, citing concerns that her posts had become “too provocative” for Instagram. The platform, owned by Fenix International, retains a 20% commission on creator earnings.
She explained that the decision was motivated by her desire to maintain a wholesome public image, particularly as a mother. “I want to be a wholesome mother that people see — not someone whose image is solely defined by sexual appeal. I share those photos on OnlyFans now, where people can choose to view them,” she said.
Austin, who shares a daughter, Chanel Nicole Marrow, with her husband, rapper and actor Ice-T (Tracy Marrow), acknowledged that her daughter has expressed discomfort with her public image. “I never want my choices to make her uncomfortable. She understands my work, but I am very careful not to go overboard,” she noted.
The model revealed that her daughter, now a fourth-grader with an orange belt in kung fu, has even imposed restrictions on her appearance during school pick-ups. “She told me to tone it down — no heels, no dresses. So I change my clothes before picking her up,” Austin said.
The couple will celebrate their daughter’s tenth birthday on November 28 and their 21st wedding anniversary on New Year’s Eve. Austin, who breastfed Chanel until age six, described the experience as “a bonding process.”
She further emphasized her domestic role within the marriage, noting that she and Ice-T maintain a traditional household structure. “Ice works hard outside the home, and I manage the house. We understand and respect each other’s roles,” she stated, while observing that modern attitudes toward independence can sometimes challenge relationship stability.
Ice-T, 67, also has two adult children — Tracy Marrow Jr. and LeTesha Marrow — from previous relationships. He is scheduled to perform on November 29 at The King of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio, and recently confirmed a crossover appearance in the 25th season of Law & Order, in which he stars as Sergeant Odafin “Fin” Tutuola in the spin-off Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.#newsafro_
